Mari nawi: Aboriginal odysseys

The Eora of the Sydney basin were adventurous mariners who travelled far beyond their own country. Tired and homesick Bennelong and his young Wangal kinsman Yemmerrawanne performed a traditional chant in London in 1793 and the song was noted by a Welsh composer and harpist. Recently the song was performed for the first time in more than 200 years to coincide with an exhibition at the State Library of New South Wales.

Also - we meet some of the delegates from a conference on Indigenous womens' wellbeing, held last month in Darwin. And Leah Purcell talks about her role as both director and star of a new production of the award-winning play The Story of the Miracles at Cookie's Table.
